Galaxy Nexus will not get Android 4.4 KitKat

Android 4.4 KitKat brings support for low end devices but not for old devices like the Galaxy Nexus. New low end devices will get the new version of Android 4.4 KitKat. Google has confirmed that the Galaxy Nexus will not get the latest version of the platform. When Google announced the Android 4.4 KitKat we also didn't see the Galaxy Nexus in the list.

 It is very interesting because Galaxy Nexus is fully capable of running Android 4.4 KitKat. But we think that the two year old Nexus falls outside of the Google's 18 months software supports policy, As the Google support page also says this. It is quite annoying because Android 4.4 KitKat was supposed to run on older device too but we think Google don't wanna run Android 4.4 on older device, but we are pretty sure that new low-end device will run Android 4.4 KitKat. 

 You may want to look into grabbing the new Nexus 5, before they all are gone.
